Phalaenopsis Orchids grow well indoors and have long-lasting flowers produced all year round. They are one of the most popular indoor orchids for good reason. On each side of the stems is a row of flowers. This Phalaenopsis Orchid looks like it was flowering only yesterday in the jungles of Borneo. The wild shoots with uneven, small flowers give this orchid a back-to-nature character and make ideal gifts.

Where should I put my Phalaenopsis Orchid?
Your Orchid needs to be in a bright spot with lots of natural light so that the flowers can keep opening - for the flowers to have the best colour the plant must be in a bright spot, but out of direct sunlight.
 
orchids don’t do well in strong direct light, it may burn the leaves, particularly during the summer.
 
Normal room temperature is perfect for orchids and with the right conditions, this plant will grow and thrive. Once flowers have dropped off, you can cut out the flower spike. 
 
During the period in which the plant is not blooming, it invests its energy in the formation of leaves and roots getting ready for the next bloom.
 
How should I water my orchid?
Phalaenopsis orchids need to be watered twice a week during warm weather and the water needs to be of room temperature, 20-24 degrees Celsius.   
 
The best way to water Orchids is to either submerge the orchid in water until roots are submerged overnight, they will then absorb the water.  It will store water in its roots to keep it going until the next watering.
 
You can also mist. Rainwater works best, but tap water that is left to stand for a day and warm-up can also be used. 
 
How should I feed my Phalaenopsis Orchid?
Phalaenopsis do not need as much fertilizer as conventional plants, so we recommend fertilizing every two to three weeks in spring and summer and once a month in autumn and winter.
